    Classification of Publications

                    Classification of publication outlets into tiers is a difficult process due to the diversity of outlets 
                    in the same specialization and differences among fields of research. Hence, the approach will 
                    require adjustment in each academic area to develop the most suitable system for that particular 
                    academic department. However, the following are universal norms of quality for research 
                    publications that must be present in all high quality publication outlets:  
                       I.     Journals with Impact factor: quality and reputation of the publisher and journal (the 
                              higher the better). 
                               
                      II.     Journals without Impact factor: 
                              -    Independent editorial board for the publishing outlet (journal or publisher).  
                              -    Peer-review of the work before publication is accepted. 
                              -    Scholarly reputation of the publisher: ranking in the field if impact factor is not the 
                                   norm (top tier, second tier, etc.), indexing status. 
                              -    History and background of the publishing outlet: publication of regular issues without 
                                   interruption over an extended period of time. 
                                    
                    III.      Books and book chapters: 
                              Peer-reviewed from reputable publisher known in the field as evidenced by: 
                                        -    Scholarly reputation of the publisher: major international publishers, 
                                             assignment of ISBN for the book. 
                                        -    History and background of the publishing outlet: type of publisher (known 
                                             publishing house, university, non-profit organization) and years in the 
                                             business of publishing. 
                    For the special case of open access online journals, all the above requirements apply. Open 
                    access journals /books & book chapters are not acceptable if payment is required for 
                    publication before the peer-review process is completed and an independent decision is reached 
                    whether to publish the work or reject it. In general, journals considered as probable predatory 
                    scholarly open-access publishers should be avoided. 
                     
                    However, open access/online journals that meet the criteria for traditional journal such as 
                    independent editorial board, peer-review, existence of impact factor or other third party ranking 
                    of quality, and regularity of issues are eligible for ranking the same way standard journals are 
                    ranked. These journals will ask only payment for page cost once the peer-review is 
                    completed.  
                    Departments are requested to use these classification guidelines to generate lists of 
                    publications in each rating tier and share them with their faculty ahead of the appraisal.                                                                          
                                                                                   2
